Question

Apply the distributive property and the greatest common factor to write an equivalent expression.

32k + 24 = _ (_)

what numbers should be in place of the underscores?

Answer 1

You need to see what is the highest number that goes into 32 and 24. the only number that works here is 8. 32/8 is 4 and 24/8 is 3. so the solution to your problem is 8(4k+3).
